Victory Prayer Risks 00:10:52
Hello and welcome to the Jim Baker Family Show, coming to you from the village of Morningside, USA, nestled in the beautiful Ozark Mountains.
Today, our special guest is an author, ex-Satanist, now an evangelist, John Ramirez.
Our co-host today is Reverend Mondo De Vega.
And now, here's your host, Pastor Ricky Baker.
Hello, you're watching Jim Baker's PTL Television Network.
Today, we're going to be getting into a very important topic, friends.
We're going to be exposing the enemy's playbook.
We have with us today evangelist John Ramirez.
I want to thank you for being on the broadcast with us today.
You know, John Ramirez is usa.
An internationally known speaker and author who teaches believers around the world how to defeat the enemy.
Friends, we all need to know how to defeat the enemy.
You heard this in the intro, and it's true.
He is a former Satanist who was miraculously saved from a high-ranking satanic priest.
Now you join the fight with us believers as going forth with Jesus Christ in front of us.
You wear the full armor of God every day, but I want to jump right into this question, if you don't mind.
How does somebody find themselves in a situation where they are joining the church of Satan?
Well, you know, a lot of times, religion brings a cult.
You can't separate religion and a cult because a cult and religion works together parallel.
When you're a religious person, it becomes an occult.
The only time that you can really, really be, I would say to make the difference is relationship.
Relationship creates something special, creates something spectacular, creates something intimate.
So a lot of us in the Spanish community, we're very occultive because we adopt things that are cultural in our lives, right?
My grandmother lit up candles.
My father lit up candles.
My grandmother lit up candles.
So you know, wrong with it, I have an altar.
I lit up candles.
I go around the house with incense.
Ukrainian environment that sucks you in like a vacuum clean before you know it.
One thing leads to another and becomes devil worshiping.
So it's almost like traditions being handed down from generation to generation.
The next generation didn't even realize, hey, these are occult practices which were going on.
We're burning sage.
We're lighting candles at an altar.
But it may be to them, they thought this is just tradition.
It's tradition.
It's cultural.
It's a family thing.
We've done it.
We've been doing it for generations.
So my father was a warlock.
My father was a devil worshiper.
My aunt was a devil worshiper.
So I came from a family bloodline worshiping devils from my father, my aunt, my grandfather from Puerto Rico.
We immigrated to New York City and we, you know, one thing, one thing, one devil worship will find another devil worshiper.
We find other devil worshipers in Santeria, spiritualism.
We find them in other cult practices, other religion, other cultures.
And we all came together and we went to devil church, you know, Centros, in the evening from seven in the evening to five in the morning.
Wow.
This becomes.
Listen, you have to go back.
My mind is going wild because I grew up the same way.
Mayabuelita, my grandmother, was a Santeria and lighting up candles.
Then on Sunday, for those who don't know, what is that?
Well, Santeria means, my Santeria means in Joroa religion, which is from cultivated originally from Africa.
It came when slavery came into America, but it came into Cuba from Cuba to the islands.
It came here.
It's voodoo.
It's a different name for voodoo.
So Santeria means worship of saints.
But there's no worship of saints, worship of demons.
Yeah, that's right.
But you know, we believe that that was part of our cultures or traditions.
We breathe it.
It's like playing soccer or basketball.
If you didn't have that, if you wanted a place, you know, get a girl, you go, this is the thing.
My grandmother, in order to, in her mind, wanting to keep my grandfather in her life because he was out there doing business and doing funny business and womanizing.
And he said, no, I'm going to cast a spell on him.
And the witchcraft becomes something that is part of your life.
Then she was teaching that to her kids.
That if you want to keep that mate or if you want that business to succeed, light up a candle and let's do these rituals.
But John, in the church, we're seeing rituals that are occultic, and yet most Christians don't realize that they're playing with witchcraft.
What do you see the church doing today that most Christian pastors are not realizing that they have entered into an occultic ritual that is mirroring your old life?
Amen.
You know, I think the church, we want, we got woke, the church at large.
We're going to war because the church lives by the opinions of people, but not the truth of God anymore.
So when you live by the opinions of people, you want to keep people in the seats.
So instead of becoming holy, you become an entertainer.
So when you become an entertainer, you have to come up with tricks.
Yep.
You know, in order to captivate, you know, so you see, so in the church, you see people, you see smoke machines.
And I don't want the smoke machine.
I want the presence of God.
What would I want smoke machine for?
Listen, I don't know about you guys, but when I heard you were coming to the show, I just something in me said go into prayer.
Amen.
You know, because I respect the call of God in your life.
I respect it.
I respect it likewise.
You know, and I really do because I don't want anything in my heart to be part of evil.
And when I knew the man of God was coming, I knew God.
I said, the room has to be, the atmosphere has to be ready because someone like you understands the spiritual realm most than normal people.
Yes.
And I got to ask you this.
Sorry, Ricky, for asking this question, but I got to ask you, how do we prepare the atmosphere and understand that there's a demonic realm, but there's also a spiritual realm that we can tap into.
But how do we get past the realm of the occultic and the demonic so we can tap into the realm of the spirit, which is the Holy Spirit?
You know, one thing I wrote here on my thing here, I got this fake iPhone.
So bear with me.
You know, in Puerto Rican, we get fake iPhones.
But I wrote this, right?
I wrote, your victory and your prayer life cannot be separated.
Your victory and your prayer life cannot be separated.
So if the devil separates your prayer life, you never have victory.
So the victory, your prayer life is the main platform, the foundation of your Christianity, your prayer life.
We know the Christianity, we know that the virgin birth, there's no Christianity.
We know the crucifixion, the resurrection.
We all know that.
That's the platform where we stand as believers that separate us from any other religion, right?
But your prayer life, your prayer life, you can't separate your victory in your prayer life.
So in order to have victory in the studio, you have to have a prayer life.
So my brother got up, he pray, he pray, he saturated the place with the prayer, and prayer brings holiness.
As you pray, glory goes up.
A prayer goes up and glory comes down.
And that's how we live.
That's who God made it simple.
I don't know why we have these complicated theology that is not even a theology.
It just gimmicks.
It's gimmicks.
It's gimmick.
In order to sound so I can sound important.
I don't want to sound important.
I want the truth of Jesus Christ to be spread everywhere I go.
And I'm cool with that.
I'm okay with that.
Understand?
Because my prayer life, my prayer life, the only way I'm going to see victory is because I have a prayer life.
Amen.
That's the only reason we see victory.
Amen.
You know, you wrote this book.
It's called Exposing the Devil's Playbook.
And in this book, you state that the church has, you know, gone woke.
You state that there are some issues in the church that need to be addressed and that the devil is trying to attack the church.
I want you to ask this.
I want to ask you this question.
And, you know, it's not on our scripts, but a lot of people, when they hear, Mondo, you just made a statement.
You said, you know, somebody was casting a spell.
You know, a lot of the modern church would say, casting a spell.
What is this?
A 1980s movie?
You know, casting a spell.
What is this?
Harry Potter?
They wouldn't, you know, they don't assume that that kind of stuff actually exists.
It's real.
So what do you say to a believer who's listening?
And they hear the terms, you know, somebody's casting a spell or somebody is, you know, building an altar and, you know, they're lighting candles and they're burning sage, but they think, oh, well, it doesn't do anything because it's not real.
What would you say to that?
Well, of course, it's real.
I mean, because you are interacting with something, you're interacting with a mystical fire.
You're interacting with demonic spirits.
It's like people say Halloween is okay.
So what's your opinion on that?
Because Halloween is okay because we're just going to call it different.
We're going to call it harvest.
Or we're going to call it trunk of tree.
Trunk of tree.
There's a church.
I think this year is Trump or Tree.
Trump is tree.
So this is a church.
So how is it that you're trying to bring the devil into your house and change his identity?
You can't change the devil's identity.
You can't change the identity, the origin of Halloween because you call it different.
If you celebrate it, you're part of it.
If I would have voted, I'm going to be real.
Could I be real?
If I voted for Kamala Harris, I would have been in trouble.
I would have been in trouble because I'm voting into a system.
The devil believes in methods and systems.
So if I voted for Kamala Harris, which I didn't vote for Kamala Harris.
Yeah, put the disclaimer on the screen.
No, no, I didn't vote for her.
I don't care if Ricky Martin wants to be president.
I won't vote for him either.
He's Puerto Rican.
He's better looking than me.
But you're voting into a system, a system of something that is ungodly.
So I can't vote for something.
I can't come in agreement with something that is ungodly, regardless of what it is.
So in the church, when we have Simon the Sorceress today preaching, Simon the Sorceress followed the apostles all over the place because he didn't follow them because he wanted transformation.
He just wanted what they had.
He knew there was a profit to be gained.
Right.
So he wanted tricks.
Same way with Paul.
Remember, Paul was walking around.
You had the woman saying, these men are from God.
And she was testifying.
That's right.
These men are from God.
Exposing the Devil's Playbook 00:15:52
They follow the way they're going.
You know what the reason she was doing that?
Because she knew the devil knew once they leave the region, I confirmed them.
Now the people in the region stay with me and follow me.
That's right.
That's right.
That's why he rebuked her.
That's why he rebuilt it.
He said, let me get this devil out of here.
So when I leave the region, the region will stay holy.
That's right.
Wow.
That's right.
And a lot of people don't realize.
That's why the people who were in control of that woman, they were upset.
They were upset that the devil had been cast out of her.
Oh, yeah.
Because they knew they just lost what they would call their cash cow.
Yeah, yeah.
Because they knew exactly.
They were going to be able to take over that region.
Friends, we here in America and across the United States of America, we cannot give the devil any ground.
We need to look the devil in his face and say, not one more inch in my family, in my community, in my school board, in my state, or my nation.
My children are doing marriage.
That's right.
That's because my destiny, my ministry, my calling.
I mean, everything that God has given you from A to Z, it has to be holy.
It has to stay holy.
You have to maintain it holy.
I think the awesome thing about God, he gives you an A. That's right.
Now you have to maintain it.
Yes.
That's right.
You know, I wrote this today.
I posted this on X Twitter.
I said, you can't have both worlds.
And I'm just going to read this to you.
It says, an hour in the church and the other hour in the club doesn't work.
An hour in the light and the other hour in darkness doesn't work.
An hour with the Lord and the other hour with Satan doesn't work.
You're either with Christ the King or you're with the kingdom of Satan.
And that comes from a story.
My wife's grandmother was a missionary to Haiti for about 40 years.
And she had a pastor friend of hers and she loved this man.
She, you know, he passed her to church on Sundays.
They did missions work together.
They were feeding the kids.
They were clothing them.
She noticed he was kind of acting a bit funny.
And one night she went to go see where he was.
And in that same church building, that night, Sunday night, she had never been there on a Sunday night.
She had realized that he was a practicing witch doctor.
Wow.
So she addresses and says, Brother, what is it that you're doing?
You are on Sunday morning preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ, telling people he's the only way to heaven, but at nighttime, you were telling people how to, you know, make concoctions and liquids and cast spells and do all these things and pray to idols and altars.
He goes, what's happening here?
And he goes, oh, that's just normal here.
That's just the culture here.
She goes, well, that's not normal nor is that good Christianity.
That's lukewarm Christianity.
If anything, you're playing more on the devil side.
But we have to be able to call those types of things out.
We can't live riding the fence anymore, can we?
There's no longer room for one foot in the world and one foot in the kingdom of heaven, is there?
No, not at all.
I think as believers, we hate to be corrected or convicted, right?
Because we do whatever's right in our own eyes, and then we want God to sign off on it.
And for me, I was mentored by Debbie Wilkinson for three years.
And Debbie Walkerson, you know, when he preached on Sunday, I'm like, oh man, I should have came next Sunday.
The conviction had been conviction.
It was so heavy.
It was like, oh, man, I should have gone to the woke church and came back up on Sunday because it's conviction.
And one of the things that the devil understands, the devil understands that he wants to rob you from your prayer life.
You know, he wants to steal your prayer life.
And that's why the devil's playbook is so key to the body of Christ today because if the devil has a playbook on you, why can't you have a playbook on him?
Amen.
I hear Christians saying, I'm oppressed.
I hear Christians saying, I'm depressed.
That's right.
I'm like, it's too late.
You're incarcerated.
Because you didn't hear the footsteps on the hallway that the devil was coming.
That's right.
You bound yourself.
And someone left the door open.
So now you're oppressed and depressed or suicidal, right?
I don't want medication.
I don't want to be popping pills.
I want to pop MMs, not pills.
So I'm going 61 in December.
Amen.
I don't take medication.
And I'm not wrong taking medication for a season.
But I pray.
And I want my temple to be healthy.
And the reason I say that is because my walk with God, it's my walk with God.
I don't want to open demonic doors of any kind.
You see?
So I think when Christians say, I'm oppressed, depressed, first of all, the devil doesn't have legal rights over you.
You're a child of God.
The devil doesn't have legal rights over you.
He doesn't have legal rights over you unless you open the door and give him the legal rights.
Right?
So I share with people in the book, Exposing the Devil's Playbook, I share like a moment, right?
I share a moment.
It's called Faith in Dark Times.
That is one key chapter.
Faith in dark times.
Because the truth be told, when God comes back, he ain't looking for the church of Julio.
He ain't looking for the church of Julio.
He's not looking for the church of so-and-so or the church of this and that.
Well, God said, when I come back to the earth, what I find faith.
And faith in dark times means this.
Can I say really quick what faith in dark times means?
Please.
Faith in dark times means this.
Michael Phelps, awesome swimmer.
Yes, right?
He won 28 medals.
That's right.
The most decorated Olympian ever.
Ever, right?
But you know how he got his training?
His trainer would turn around and turn off the lights in the pool.
Turn off the lights.
He would swim in the dark.
And then sometimes he'll put holes in his goggles and his goggles get full of water.
And then he would still try to swim because he wanted him to learn the pool.
So learn your faith.
Learn with the faith that God has.
Learn it because your faith is going to train you for the battle.
Wow.
Amen.
So I train you for the battle.
So Michael Phelp, when he went to Beijing, when he went to China, he threw himself in the pool, right, on the race.
His goggles were full of water.
He couldn't see where he was going.
But he knew that the training he had kicked in.
He knew the length of the pool, how many strokes.
He knew everything in the dark.
But when God turned off the lights, not the devil, is God gives the devil permission to turn off the light, you know, you have a clarity and you have understanding the faith that you carry.
And you know that you could swim through whatever is in front of you.
Whoa.
Because you have a spiritual resume that can prove that you've been with God.
Amen.
Friends, that is what you're going to be getting out of this book.
Exposing the Devil's Playbook.
I'm going to read this subtitle, Powerful Spiritual Warfare Strategies to Equip You for Battle.
Friends, we have this book available at thejimbakershow.com.
Excuse me.
Our editors keep telling me, stop saying the, it's just jimbakershow.com.
Or you can scan that QR code on the screen.
Call us at 1-888-988-1588.
Get this book with our affiliate with Charisma Media, but Exposing the Devil's Playbook.
Now, in Exposing the Devil's Playbook, you state that the church has fallen asleep in the lap of Delilah.
I want you to explain that.
The lap of Delilah is the lap of the world.
So we adopt worldly systems and bring them to the church and make them holy.
We don't need it.
We got this.
Come on.
Put it up there.
Amen.
We got this.
The greatest book ever written.
Amen.
It's still on the New York Times bestseller list for 2,000 years.
Amen.
That's right.
That's right.
So, so I don't, listen, this is cool, but I'm rolling with this.
Amen.
I'm rolling with this because this has been proven for 2,000 years.
So, the church won methods, the devil's methods.
We have the strategies of heaven.
So, so the church today, they bring methods into the church, but they don't bring truth to the church.
And the truth will set you free.
The truth will set you free.
You wrote here on the back of the book in Psalms 144, verse 1, David asked God, teach my hands to war.
And you said, if you feel trapped, handcuffed, limited, depleted, and spiritually anemic, this guide will show you how to break off those shackles, avoid spiritual blind spots.
I want to ask you about that.
And crush the head of the serpent in any season of your life.
Let's talk about spiritual blind spots because we're all on, we always say, our faith journey.
So it feels like we're constantly progressing towards what?
Our final goal is eternity with Jesus Christ.
It is to spend eternity forever and ever and ever praising, worshiping, and loving Jesus Christ.
But on that journey, can believers develop spiritual blind spots?
Oh, absolutely.
I'm going to share something really biblical.
It's in the Bible.
David, you remember the life of David, right?
Yes.
David was a man of war.
Yes, he was.
David was like, run a song, man.
You see him today.
You're like, ooh, David.
Because David could sing.
He can fight.
He can play instruments.
He's poetic.
But don't catch him in a bad day.
Sounds like Mondo.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Thank you.
And what's about David?
David was so amazing, right?
But he had the devil on his blind spot, Saul.
Saul pretending to be his friend, pretending that he wanted the best of David, and he was on his blind spot.
And David couldn't see the enemy on his blind spot.
He could see Goliath, but he couldn't see the real devil on the blind spot.
And David ran away from Saul for 13 years before he became king.
So David, so David ran from Saul for 13 years when he killed Goliath in the instinct.
And sometimes it's not what you kill in the instinct.
It's what you've been fighting for 13 years is on your blind spot that you need to know spiritual warfare at its best.
Wow.
I got to ask you this in that sentence because discernment has to be one of the key elements to understand how to discern the blind spot.
Yes.
How to discern.
I want to tell you how this works.
He's going to answer that question, but how it looks like discernment is understanding what's around you, but also understanding where the moment you walk into a hotel room, can your spirit discern the spirits that have been there before you got there?
Amen.
Amen.
I know you paid a lot of money for that room.
I walked into a room with my wife.
We're going to celebrate her anniversary, very expensive.
And we walked in.
She went to the bathroom.
And when she was in the bathroom, I was getting ready to put the luggage into the luggage placement.
And I felt something.
All of a sudden, the room became cold.
And I felt it.
And I knew the devil was in the room.
And I said, Devil, I bind you in the name of Jesus.
I plead the blood over my wife.
I plead the blood over my life right now.
And I had a little communication with him.
And my wife came out and I said, Pack the bags.
We're getting out of here.
This is not the room for us.
Amen.
We went down the street for a cheaper room.
And it was the name of the hotel was Anjo Inn.
Angelin.
I knew we were in God's moment.
It wasn't that pretty.
It wasn't that fancy.
But I can tell you that there was the Spirit of God because the people that owned it were praying over every room.
They were anointing every room.
Discernment.
Talk about discernment because a lot of Christians don't understand and they fall into temptation.
And you talk about it that the devil's ministry is temptation, but yet we don't understand it because we don't know how to discern the spirit.
Talk about discernment.
And discernment is the intimacy with the Holy Spirit.
God wants, and everything that God does is intimate.
Intimate.
There's nothing that God does outside of the round of being intimate because if it's outside of the Ron being intimate becomes religious, it just becomes, it becomes routine.
So the discernment is understanding that relationship with the Holy Spirit.
Know the voice.
Know what he talks.
Know what he says.
Do what he says.
When you know that, like Amando said, there was something in this room.
As soon as he walked in, the atmosphere in the room was different.
So you need to understand the devil works in atmosphere, the devil works in methods.
You know, the Bible said, don't be ignorant of the devil's devices.
My people parish because they've had a lot of knowledge.
So build that relationship, build your faith.
You know, spiritual warfare for me is, I put on the armor, I put on Jesus.
That's right.
Because I have a relationship with the Lord.
And because of that relationship, I can discern the things of the kingdom.
I can discern the things of the enemy because that relationship with the Holy Spirit is undeniable, trustworthy, and you can't move it.
You can't shake it.
You can't break it.
And you can't do nothing with it.
Because when the Holy Spirit speaks to me, believe me, I know that he's speaking to me.
And when he speaks to me, if I want the Holy Spirit to continue to speak to me, all I have to carry is obedience.
Amen.
And that's right.
And obedience develops intimacy.
I've said this for many years.
Obedience is a muscle that must be exercised daily.
Friends, you don't just get obedience one time.
You're obedient for the rest of your life.
The Lord will give you the opportunity every single day to be obedient.
It's our choice.
to listen to that voice of the Holy Spirit pouring into our lives saying, hey, you know, you think you're supposed to be going left right now, but I need you to go right.
You think you're supposed to be going to X destination, but I need you to go to B, C, or D destination.
And we can just say, yes, I'm going to follow the key of the Holy Spirit.
You know, a lot of the church, we found this, sadly, you addressed this earlier, and we're going to go into this more.
They have developed a woke doctrine, this doctrine that says, I'd rather have my pews filled than my pews purified.
And, you know, what we're seeing right now is we're seeing a love for the gifts of the Spirit in the church, but we are seeing a lack of the fruit of the Spirit in the church.
Friends, I'll let you know right now, I would much rather attend a church that did not exercise the gift of the Spirit every single Sunday, but every single one of those members had the fruit of the Spirit they were exercising every single Sunday.
And I promise you, believe, if you're watching this at home, if you have the fruit of the Spirit in your life, the gifts of the Spirit will follow it.
But Mondo, it's not always the case that if you have the gifts of the Spirit, sometimes we see some people with the gifts of the Spirit, and brother, you have an intimate private conversation with them, and you're going like this.
Where's the fruit?
Where's the fruit?
Because you've stepped off that performance.
You're so right on because the last few weeks I've been teaching this, people have fallen in love with the gifts.
We have built ministries and giftings.
We have built our careers and authored books on the gifts of the Spirit, but we've never tapped into the fruit of the Spirit.
You cannot operate the gift without the fruit because the fruit will develop the gift and the gift will lead you to the will of God.
But without the will of God and without the fruit, the gift is empty.
It's just a performance at that point.
It's what you were just saying.
It becomes an occultic performance and people have fallen in love with the gifts, yet the fruit will always lead you to the will of God, which is intimacy.
But you know, a lot of churches today, this is what they do.
Calling the Church Higher 00:05:56
Man, this is good.
A lot of churches, and again, we're not bashing churches, don't get me wrong.
We want a church to wake up.
We are the church.
We are a holy church.
We want to call the church higher.
Yeah, we're calling the church a high standards to be the church that God called you to be, right?
On the earth, right?
So you look at the church.
The church is in love with the things they do, but they're not in love for the person they do it for anymore.
Wow.
So when you're in love with the gifts, you're in love with the things that you do, but you're not in love with the person you do it for it anymore.
You have lost your way.
Because when the gift is not under the anointing of the one you're doing it for, and then the devil comes as an angel of light and confuses you.
That's why we have a lot of false prophets today in the church.
You know, when a false prophet come up to me and tell me, I know your name or I know your social security number.
I'm like, well, you're not doing my income tax, so you don't need to know my social security number.
That's right.
You know, because if you're not lined up with the word of God, with the will of, you see, lined up with the word of God and the will of God, then you can speak into me and I'll take it to heaven and check off on it.
Yes.
I take it to prayer to make sure that what you're saying is real because God's not going to speak to you first and then he's not going to speak to me.
Understand?
So we need to come to a place to understand that be in love with him and whatever you do is secondary.
And then God can use you.
Everything else is secondary.
Everything else is secondary.
Everything, everything.
I don't care how many books you write.
I don't care how many places you preach.
I don't care how many platforms you stand on.
Listen, if the presence doesn't show up, then all you got is a religious activity and a religious event.
There's nothing behind that event that would definitely have the fingerprints of God in it.
Wow.
And that's the truth.
Wow.
I want to read from page 93 of this book.
Again, this is exposing the devil's playbook: powerful spiritual warfare strategies to equip you for battle.
You say this right here.
You say, many churches today don't teach, disciple, or equip the saints of God.
I pray in the mighty name of Jesus that this chapter will be a blessing to you and you will become a soldier for Christ.
How important is it for believers not to just be pew dwellers, but to actually be soldiers of Christ?
Well, to me, soldiers actually said that I said that chapter.
You know, I think a lot of churches, what they do, they rather put another church service than a church prayer.
Right?
So you have church services, but you have no prayer.
Charles Spurgeon, he said, the reasons I can do the things I do, Charles Spurgeon back then, he had like 5,000 members in his church.
He had a big church down in London.
I mean, megachurch, right?
But he brought these college students that came from a cinematic school that came.
He said, let me show you the boiler.
Let me show you the furnace.
They said, well, it's July.
Why would you show me the furnace?
It's July.
You know, it's a hot day summer.
Why would you show me the furnace?
He took them downstairs.
He opened the door.
700 people would pray.
He said, the reason I can do what I do up there, because what they do here.
Same thing for Times Square Church, right?
Times Square Church, David Wilkerson, he has a prayer meeting that lasted 35 years, going on for 35 years underneath the church.
There's people praying when the service is going on here.
So if you feel convicted, you know why.
That's right.
The prayers are passing.
That's why they're coming through, tickling your toes.
That's right.
So we need to get back to the main thing, prayer.
Jesus pray.
Jesus got up in the morning.
He had a head explosion.
He had his Hebrew pajamas.
He got up in the morning.
He went somewhere.
He took the time out and he prayed.
Amen.
The devil, the one thing about the devil, and I share this moment with you, the devil fears nothing that you do.
Worthless prayer life, worthless studies, worthless church, worthless events, worthless conferences.
But the devil trembles when you pray.
The devil trembles when you pray.
Wow.
Friends, I want you to go get this book right now.
It is available at jimbakershow.com or give us a call 1-888-988-1588.
This is a book by evangelist John Ramirez, Exposing the Devil's Playbook, Powerful Spiritual Warfare Strategies to Equip You for Battle.
Or you can scan that QR code on your screen.
This is an affiliate program we have with Charisma Media.
We want to thank you for being on the broadcast and kind of going into greater detail of this book.
When somebody gets this book, they open it up, they begin to read it.
You know, do you believe that they will begin to see more clearly what the devil is trying to do to them and their family?
Absolutely.
I believe in my heart that I believe a lot of Christians, a lot of Christians love God.
They love the Holy Spirit.
They go to church, they pray, they fast, but they haven't been discipled.
And the book is about discipleship.
Disciple you, the strategies and the methods of the devil and knowing the footsteps of the enemy before he shows up and the doors open in your life.
So I think the more exposure you have in spiritual warfare, the better soldier you can be, the better arming dangerous you can be, the more victories you're going to have in your life and in your family.
And not only you have that, but you pass it on to your family as generational blessings, right?
Because your blessings are your family's blessings, right?
And it becomes a generational opportunity to have believers to know how to be trained, equipped, be arming dangerous, and be an arrow in God's quiver.
Amen.
You know, I keep thinking about There are items in our homes that attract demonic devils.
Wow, you just said it like it is.
They attract devils.
And can you name this?
This is going old school.
Why We Hide Symbols 00:15:52
I see people pulling out their pens and papers right now.
Because I want to tell you something.
I'm going to ask you a very old school question that most people don't even want to talk about today because we have accepted a lot of things that the old generation will never accept.
You and I grew up in an era where preachers called it like it was.
And you better take that picture down.
That mug that your grandma gave you that has this symbol on.
Take that out of your house.
Go and search your home.
We don't do that anymore.
No.
But what are items in our homes right now that you recognize that are tracked as devils?
And no wonder people are still sick.
They're battling sickness.
They're battling depression.
And it can be something as simple as a mug that's been handed down from generation, or maybe they picked it up in a store and it has a symbolic.
Let's talk about that because a lot of times we don't understand that spiritual warfare.
Again, it goes back to what you, the question you asked, Ricky, about the blind spots.
What are blind spot items that we may have in our home that we don't recognize as inviting demons into our home?
Yeah, you can have things that are cultive in your house and realize you call it fashion.
You call it something attractive that you just say when I walk into home goods, I like home goods.
My wife goes to home goods.
She drives me crazy with the home goods stuff and marshals.
Even I track my wife.
I know what she's at.
I said, you're in Marshalls now.
You're in HomeGoods.
So you're in TJ Maxx.
All the same day.
Yeah, all the same day.
It's like they know her by name and it's scary.
And she goes there and I tell her, don't bring stuff home that's mystical.
Don't bring stuff home that you think it's going to make the apartment look good.
You know, whether it's a photograph, whether there's a statue, you know, you bring stuff, maybe you say, oh, I'm going to bring stuff.
I'm going to bring this over here because I'm Puerto Rican.
I'm going to bring the coqui.
Well, no, don't bring that coquetti to my house.
You know, because the symbolic symbol behind that thing might look like maybe we're celebrating the culture thing of Puerto Rico, but there's things behind it that are cultive.
So whatever thing or culture you bring, you're giving the devil the leverage, the open door to your home to have a now.
It's like saying, I can have pure, I can have holy furniture, right?
But if I have a seat, a lazy boy chair that represents something that the devil is attracted to, he's going to sit there and he's going to be part of your furniture.
So I don't want things in my house.
You know, I clean everything in my house, you know, if I don't feel peace, if I don't feel peace or the joy of the Holy Spirit, I don't bring it to my house.
I don't care how mine it is.
It could be a pen.
So you're saying things like things that are mystical.
Mystical.
Things that are mysterious.
Mysterious things, mystical things you bring to your home.
Other things from other religions.
Other religions.
How many times people go to missionaries, right?
They go out there and they go to a mission strip and they bring back some African thing or African mass or African statue.
Oh, I'm going to bring it back because it's going to be memory because I came to a mission strip.
No, I'll take pictures.
I don't have to bring back anything.
I'll take a picture.
I don't have to bring something back that has a mass, you know, that behind that mask.
Don't you know that the people, the locals that are selling these things, they pray over these things so you can buy them so they can make good fortune and you pray and you bring that devil home with you?
Exactly.
You know, I have a good, a good friend in college.
They, you know, I believe it was innocent at first, but they ended up getting rid of it.
But they love elephants.
They love elephants.
They had their house decorated with, you know, their room decorated with elephant things.
And I realized one of them had, you know, serious, symbolic, you know, attachment to another religion.
It was a Buddhist religion.
I said, hey, brother, do you realize what that is?
Oh, it's not a big deal.
It's just an elephant.
I said, brother, that's not just an elephant.
You know, you're wondering why you're having night terrors at night, why you can't sleep properly.
I said, get rid of that, see if it changes anything.
So he did.
He got rid of it.
He said, instantaneously, all these nightmares, these night terrors, the harassment of the night, they also left.
So, what you're saying is, people, I mean, he bought this from a large, you know, big box store.
So, you're saying, even in that capacity, people are praying over these items, especially when they have attachments to other religions, and that they can harass a believer in their home.
Yeah, same thing.
I had a friend of mine was telling me the other day that he prayed for a person.
He went to the person's home.
He said, Come to my house.
I'm always sick.
I'm always sick.
I'm always raining.
I'm sick.
I don't feel well.
I don't know what's going on.
I go to the doctor.
They tell me I'm okay.
They do all kinds of tests.
They're saying everything comes back negative, but I'm sick.
So he said, Come to my house and pray with me.
My friend went in.
The first thing he saw is Big Dragon.
There it was.
He's like, Hey, I have a suspicion of what I think it is.
Yeah.
Big dragon made out of some precious stone or whatever, green or greenstone, whatever they call that.
And very expensive.
And he said, Where'd they go?
Took it out of the house.
I've never been sick again.
Wow.
You know, a lot of believers, they'll say this.
And people think when we talk like that, they think, oh, they're mystical, they're superstitious, or they're too religious.
Because the devil wants you to think that way.
And I was going to say, you're too holy.
No, no, no.
I'd rather be holy than be crazy.
Oh, wow.
Or be lukewarm.
That's right.
Or be lukewarm.
That's right.
You know, a lot of believers will say, I've had the conversation with Mono.
We've even had the conversation where people say, well, it doesn't matter if it's in my home because I, as a believer, have authority over it.
So it doesn't matter if I let it into my home.
It doesn't matter if it's in my region.
I have authority over it.
I have authority if it shows up to my house uninvited.
But if I invite you into my house, I have no authority.
Wow.
Because I give you permission to come in.
I open the door.
Hit the rewind button and listen to that again.
I'm saying that's important.
You have authority against something that is uninvited, trying to attack your home.
But if we invite something in, then it has authority over you.
Wow.
Until you renounce it.
That's a renunciation.
It's so important.
You renounce it and then you close the door and then you have authority.
But I ain't going to invite the devil in my house and give him a cappuccino and tell them that you know I got authority over you.
The devil said, Well, you let me in.
I sat here.
Hey, you gave me a cappuccino with a little twist of lemon.
I'm part of your furniture.
I'm part of your family now.
Wow.
So, so I'm sitting here.
I'm going to be comfortable until you renounce me.
And once you renounce me, you gain back your authority.
And then I'll leave.
And then I'll leave.
Mono, this is incredible.
I mean, so many believers have been harassed and tormented.
They've been, you know, dealing with issues in their homes and their families.
And they're wondering, what can I do?
What's going on?
So we really should take authority, look around our homes, see what's in our home.
See what your other family is.
I know a lot of families live together.
There's, you know, four, five, six individuals living in the same home.
Really go around your home, look and say, Hey, God, expose anything that does not have a right to be in this Christian household.
Another thing, you know, one thing I see people do, and it shocks me.
They invite people to their home, unbelievers, to stay over.
I love you, but if I have, I have to check in with God before you can come over and stay in my home.
Yeah, I don't know what you bring.
I don't know what you're going to leave here.
And not that you're a bad person, but I need to understand the things of the spirit and I understand what you carry.
Sometimes you leave people home, you leave people come in your house, and you want to be a good Christian.
But have you checked in with God?
Wow.
And asked him if you got permission to lead that people in your house.
Oh, I pay for your hotel.
This is real.
And the people come in your house, they lay in your bed, they lay in the room, your guest room.
That thing is infected with witchcraft.
And then that thing, just a matter of time, it just saturates your whole home.
And you wonder why this chaos is happening.
Why these demonic attacks happen?
What these things are showing up in my house.
And this could be a loved one.
This could be a loved one.
Listen, you have to do it.
Man, you brought a great memory a few years ago.
This person, I'm not going to name their name, but they're very close to me.
And they called my wife, said, We're coming in town.
Can we stay with you?
My wife's oh, yeah, absolutely.
My wife called me.
I was in the office here.
She said, Hey, so-and-so is coming by.
They're going to stay in the house.
My spirit jumped and I felt uneasy.
And my wife is telling me, and then, you know, you try to be careful because you don't want to get in a fight with your spouse or you don't want to have an argument because then you're opening up another door.
But inside of me, I just couldn't.
By the time I got home, my wife and I went on a walk and I said, Baby, I don't feel good about this person staying in the house because I feel like their spirit is bringing chaos.
And God began to reveal to me the type of spirit that this person was bringing.
And sure enough, when this person drove up to my house and they parked in the garage, I knew that I could not allow this person to come in.
And I went outside and I said, Let's talk for a moment.
I said, Tell me how you've been.
Oh man, oh God, I said, Look, I can smell something.
I said, Look, I can't have you stay in my house.
Well, brother, we've known each other.
I said, Doesn't matter.
I said, You're bringing a spirit that is going to bring chaos into my home.
And I got to protect my kids.
Mondo, you're being over.
No, no, no.
Here's some money.
Go stay down the street.
I'll see you for lunch.
But I cannot have you in my house.
I want to tell you something.
When you start taking authority, the Bible says in James 4:7, submit yourselves then to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
That's right.
The problem is that you don't like the submission.
You don't like the word submission because it's so cold to.
No, no, no, get that out of your head.
This is not the word of God says, submit yourself, surrender.
That's right.
Surrender your self-control.
I want to tell you something.
When you submit yourself to God, to the Holy Spirit, to the word of God, you will have the authority that you're going to need.
I don't need to be accepted and love and like.
I wasn't love and like, anyways, in the streets.
So why am I going to worry about you liking me and you accepting me when I know that the Spirit of God is telling me, don't let him in your house.
Come to find out this man was doing cocaine.
He was doing meth.
He had a homosexual activity going on in his life.
And I knew in my spirit that the moment he will walk in, that will disturb my home.
And you know, another thing that was a demonic setup, not for that man, for his home.
And he discerned it.
And he discerned.
He said, God, I love you, but you know, we're going to do this different.
And I think we don't have the bonus, the authority, and the courage to say that to people.
And we allow people to come in and do whatever they want, but he took authority over his home.
He took authority over his family.
He said, I cannot allow this pollution, this amount of pollution come to my house.
He's not picking on the person, but he's seeing the things in the spirit.
And he said, those things of the spirit cannot come into my house because this is holy ground.
That's right.
I don't want no mixture in my home.
But you know what helped me?
It was you.
When I met you the first time here on this show, you said a lot of things that I wrote down and I started using it for my own life.
I don't want to know about people that haven't been there.
If you want to know about gangs, this is the problem I have a lot of with a lot of Christians.
It's not that I want to be invited to the, I don't want to be invited.
Believe me, I have a lot going on in my life, but I'm tired of Christians talking about issues that they have no experience about.
Yet they bring in this people to talk about gangs and they've never been in a gang before.
Yet they want to talk about spiritual warfare and they bring in this happy, go lucky pastor that has no idea what spiritual warfare is about.
I want to know from the ex-Satanist what the devil is planning.
Amen.
Because then that can prepare me on how to pray, how to fast, how to seek the Lord.
And exposing the playbook of the devil is what you need in your life in order to get an insight of what the devil is planning for you and how can you counter that with the strategy, with the strategy that this man that has lived in that world, that understands that world, and prepare you for the attacks that are coming into your home.
If you want to know what the devil wants from you, you got to get this book.
It's changed my life.
It's helped me change the way I pray.
It helps me understand.
Don't go to that church.
Go to this church.
Don't go to that conference.
Say no.
Listen, I get invited to go to a lot of conferences all over the world.
And I don't say that to be, oh, no, no, no.
It's just that I don't publish a lot of stuff on Facebook or social media because I like my life a little bit private.
But I also know that if I let the devil know I'm going there, the devil's going to set me up.
And I want to tell you something.
I pray, have decisions to make.
God, do I belong in that conference over there?
It's going to bring a lot of exposure for my book.
It's going to bring, and God said, no, don't go there.
That's not where I want you to be.
The devil has a plan for you over there.
But if you go to this one, this is where I need you.
Even though this one will pay more.
This one will expose me more.
But yet this one, nobody knows that you're going here, but I need you right here.
And I want to tell you something.
It's because understanding how the devil's playbook works is what gives you the clarity to understand how to discern.
If you want to know how to discern the devil and the plans, call the number right now, 1-888-988-1588.
Get this book in your hands right away and understand that the next step that you take will be a defining moment of life and death for you.
A defining moment where either you're going to have a setback or you're going to get ready for a comeback.
Amen.
1-888-988-1588.
If you are serious about it.
Can I just share one moment of the book?
I want to share a moment of the book, right?
And this is the moment I want to share because Christians get stuck in this dilemma, spiritual dilemma.
They get stuck.
You flirt with the devil and you don't realize you're flirting with him.
And I'm going to teach you one of the strategies, how the devil flirts with you and you're not realizing how he flirts with you.
So I wrote Temptation Has a Price.
I wrote in a book.
And Temptation has a price.
I shared a story about this captain.
He's on a ship and he takes cargo from Columbia to California.
So the cartels come up and say, hey, we give you $500,000 if you take this shipment of drugs to California.
And we have some other people to pick it up over there.
So he said, no, I'm not going to do that.
He said, no way.
That's not who I am.
So they upped it up to like a million dollars.
He said, no, I'm not doing it.
So they came up to like $2 million.
He said, okay, $2 million.
So he called the DEA that in California, they had the people set up there.
When they bought the shipment, they caught the bad guys.
And the DEA said, why took you so long for you to reach out to us?
He said, because they were getting close to my price.
They were getting close to my price.
So why are you flirting with the devil?
From $500 to a million dollars?
Wow.
Why are you dancing with the devil?
It's like Christians, they get bad dreams, right?
They get a bad dream, right?
They get a bad dream.
And I tell Christians, so you get your dream, renounce it in the morning.
Cut the rope.
Don't sit here with Julio.
And Julio, I had this bad dream and I had this python chasing me all night.
What do you think?
You know, what that means.
You think God's speaking to me?
No, the devil is.
Stand In The Gap 00:06:44
So now you're telling anybody about your dream.
You cultivated it.
You're giving it power.
You're giving it legs in your life.
So the more you talk about it, the more it's going to manifest into your life.
I had a dream that I died.
I had a dream that I had sickness.
Now you're talking to everybody.
Cut the rope in the beginning of the morning.
Get up.
Thank you, Jesus, for waking me up this morning.
Devil, I'm going to put you on notice.
That dream that you put on me last night is not going to manifest because I'm going to shut it down tonight, right now at this moment, before I go get my coffee.
I'm going to shut you down and shut you up, cut the rope.
That ain't going to happen to me or to anybody in my family because that's not going to be cultivated.
I don't need a prophet to tell me about the dream.
I can interpret it myself because I got the Holy Spirit.
That's not from God.
When God speaks to you, believe me, God can speak to the universe and put it together.
He can speak to you.
Amen.
He can speak to you.
You know, I want to ask you this question.
If you could write a letter to the lukewarm and wayward churches in America, as Paul did, what would you say to the church of America?
The title of my letter will be the title of the devil is advancing, the church is stuck, and God is searching.
And it's a life really quick, the life of David.
You see the life of David, right?
David showed up.
David was an overeat.
He was dropping lunch.
He was uber eating.
Yeah, it's funny.
He was dropping lunch.
There was a Philistines over here on this side of the mountain.
There was the valley here, and there was the Israelites here.
They were yelling at each other.
What kept them out of each other was that valley.
The Philistine came down to the valley, shouting at the Israelites.
David showed up.
Goliath is going up the valley, the devil's advancing.
But God is searching for a church that will stand in the gap.
It's time to stand in the gap.
Build the wall, the spiritual wall.
Tell the people the truth.
Tell the people the truth.
Jesus loves you, but he's a consuming fire.
He's not in love with your sin.
We're not going to ordain people here that doesn't belong here.
We're not going to ordain lifestyles here anymore.
It's like funny.
Trump became president, right?
Trump became president, right?
And now the mayor in New York City, he stopped giving out free money cards, right?
He started giving out free money.
Now he wants to clean up the city because daddy's home.
So invite daddy back to your church and give it to the devil, the mystical, give it to the mysterious out of the church.
Get the smoke machines out of your church and invite the Holy Spirit back.
Invite the Holy Spirit.
So how do we keep the fire burning so that the devil won't devour us?
You talk about this in page 39 of your book.
So how does someone keep the fire burning?
You know, this is my fire.
I don't have a prayer closet.
The world is my prayer closet.
I'm on Delta.
I'm praying, right?
Because I don't know who I'm going to meet, right?
I'm walking down the Delta terminals.
I'm praying.
My life is about, but I call it like, you know, in the ghetto, busting a cap.
Yeah.
Busting the cap.
You know what I'm talking about?
So I bust a cap on the devil every time something comes up in my spirit throughout the day.
I don't have to be in a place to pray.
Throughout the day, that's how I keep my fire going because I don't know what's going to show up throughout the day.
I don't know what entrapment setups, you know, that the devil has for me throughout the day.
So throughout the day, I'm praying.
I'm busting the cap.
I'm praying for shows that I've been on, like this one.
I've been on other shows.
I pray, Lord.
I lift them up in prayer.
Let them stay holy.
Let them stay pure.
Let them bring the right people to the show.
Let them edify the body of Christ.
Let them be a light.
Let them be a beacon.
Let them be a fire here, right?
I mean, I look at the life of Jim, right?
A man that been to hell and back, right?
But he's still standing, right?
I look at that life.
I look at the life of David Wilkinson, my pastor.
I look at his life.
I look at the life of Billy Graham, right?
So I see these mirrors, right?
I'm praying.
I see this mirror.
I see the life of this man.
This man shouldn't be here.
He should be dead, right?
I see his life, right?
I see the life of this man here.
He'd been to hell and back.
You know, he might be dressed.
He dressed nice, but it doesn't mean they dress nice, but you know, it wasn't like that, right?
And these are the platforms.
And I love about these two men is that they don't negotiate.
Amen.
They say, I'll tell you the truth.
And if you want, like Times Square Chair says, if you don't like the truth, don't come here.
That's right.
Amen.
I love that.
There's no room for lukewarm.
Right.
Because in the end, in the end of the service, I had an interview with a Filipino podcast, right?
And he said, and he asked me a question.
People in the Philippines is asking you, Do you worship the Virgin Mary?
I could have compromised.
I said, Well, you know, me and her are cool.
You know, we cool and all that.
I could have compromised.
I said, No.
I said, We honor the apostles that they run that race.
We honor them like I honor him, I honor him on that level that I admire the fact what they did for the Lord, but I don't worship.
I worship Christ.
I worship the one and only.
So people need to get it right in the Philippines.
Stop worshiping Mary.
Give God his worth.
We honor Mary because she gave birth to a remarkable son.
We honor Moses' mom.
She gave birth to an awesome, awful prophet.
We honor people, but we don't worship.
And the difference between honoring and worship, worship belongs to the Lord.
We honor soldiers.
We honor sisters.
Who killed the first Hitler?
Esther.
That's right.
Amen.
Amen.
So we honor people like that, but we don't worship them.
And this is what I said in the podcast.
Did they invite me back?
No compromise.
I don't care.
Amen.
I don't say that in a negative way.
I don't care to invite me back because at the end of the day, I want to be right with God in the end of the day.
Amen.
I don't want God to pull me to the side and say, I put you on that show and why you didn't tell the truth.
That's right.
Why you didn't represent me?
I don't want God to talk like that to me.
So I'd rather represent the Lord and let the church fall as it fall and we'll go from there.
Amen.

You know, just a few weeks ago, I had my laptop stolen.
Laptop Lost 00:02:24
I was working for the Army and my laptop, I left it out.
I thought, hey, no big deal, whatever.
I came back, it's gone.
I thought, hmm, I'll just answer an emails and I think it must be somewhere around here.
We searched the whole building, gone.
Nothing was, you know, smooth out of there.
I went and I checked all the security cameras.
I checked and I thought maybe someone, you know, just walked out with it.
Maybe it was an accident.
That thing was long gone.
The one question I kept getting asked, though, everyone kept saying, well, did you at least have all your stuff backed up to the cloud?
You know, all your information, all your documents, all your pictures back to the cloud.
And I said, no, I actually didn't.
I'm going to be honest with you.
I had every intention of doing it.
I just never got around to it.
They said, okay, well, you know, the next guy comes to me.
Well, do you have all your stuff backed up to the cloud?
I didn't have anything backed up to the cloud.
Everything that I have is on that computer, you know.
So somebody asked me, well, why didn't you do it?
And I said, well, to be honest with you, brother, I thought I had more time.
I always told myself, I'll do it next time.
Next time it pops up, I'll say yes, and I'll give it the 15 minutes it needs.
Next time it pops up, I'll say yes and give it the 20 minutes it needs to back everything up to the cloud.
I thought I had more time.
When those words left my mouth, I felt convicted instantly.
I got in my car, went down to a gas station to get those little roller hot dogs.
I'm going to be honest with you.
I love those things.
I went down to get a little roll hot.
I'm in the gas station.
I sit back in my car.
I was sitting there and I was thinking, man, why did that convict me?
And the Lord says, because you're sharing your faith like you have more time.
Wow.
Wow.
And I said, oh, okay.
So that's why, you know, so I'm going back there.
I said, okay, so what do I need to do?
He goes, share it like you don't have any time left.
And believer, that's where we need to be in the body of Christ.
2024 was our year.
I said this at the beginning of the year.
The Lord is purifying the pulpit.
And I said, He's purifying the pulpit.
Why?
The year 2025, the pew will be purified.
We're going to see the mighty fire of God sweep over our country.
I believe we're going to see a multi-billion soul harvest come out, and it's going to begin in the year 2025.
But friends, we must not live a laxadaisical life where we're saying, well, I'll do it later.
I have more time.
Friends, we must share the gospel with such importance as if we have no time left.
Friends, wake up every single day and say, Lord, if this was my last day on earth, if you knew it was your last day on earth, how many people would you call and get right with?
Let's be honest with you.
If you knew it was your last day to be able to recommunicate with people, reconnect with people, heal things, say, I'm sorry, or here, and I'm sorry, how many people would you call?
Forgiveness Is Strength 00:01:57
Friends, I'd be on the phone all day long.
Most people would be on the phone all day and saying, brother, if I ever hurt you, please forgive me.
Sister, I finally accept your apology.
You're completely released and forgiven.
Forgiveness is strength.
And forgiveness, and I've said this the other day on the phone to someone.
Forgiveness is the believer's best weapon right now.
Friends, we must be able to forgive because we want the Father to forgive us.
Forgiveness doesn't mean what the other person did to you was right.
Forgiveness doesn't mean that what they did to you was okay.
Forgiveness simply means this, believer, that you are free, that you can walk in the fullness of what God has for you.
Set yourself free through the power of the blood of Jesus Christ.
Because believer, we all know this.
It's not by our own strength we're free.
It's not by our own strength that the chains get broken off of us, that the ropes are unbound and that the prison door is open.
It is only through the power of the blood of Jesus and the power of having an intimate prayer relationship with the Holy Spirit daily, friend.
I'll tell you right now, if you had a spouse and you only talked to them once every couple weeks, I don't think the marriage would last very well for very long.
Yet we do it to God and wonder, why is He not blessing me?
Why is He not pouring into my life?
Why is He not talking to me more?
Friend, it's a two-way conversation you need to be having with the Lord.
